WALL LAMP.

T 0 all whom it 2?;20 2 concern. .1

Be it knownthat I, Gannon; J. Krnrlv, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of (Juyahoga and State of Ohio, have; invented certain new and useful hnprovements in Vail Lamps, of which the following is a specification.

Myinvention relates to improvements in wall; lamps, and more particularly to; that c ass or type of lighting fixture which are dapted o be a t ch d t a side ll t i close a suitable source of illumination.

Th primary object of the ir-ivention is to provide a generally improved lighting fix? ture of the type or class indicated which will be exceedingly simple in construction, cheap of manufacture and efficient in use.

A further and very important object is the provision of an improved one-piece fixture frame or bracket having outstanding open panel frames to receive the similarly shaped shade or glass sections, together with improved yieldable or lead clamps removabl-y and adjustably mounted within the upper and lower portions of the wall and panel frames and extending across the upper and lower marginal edges of the glass or shade sections for securing the latter in position.

lVith the above mentioned and other ends in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and combination of parts, hereinafter described, illustrated in one of its embodiments in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

Referring to the drawings, forming apart of this specification, Figure l is a horizontal cross sectional View of a wall lamp constructed in accordance with this invention and taken on line 1-1 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 2, an elevation of the rear or side of the same, detached.

Fig. 3, a perspective view of one of the yieldable or lead shade section securing clamps, detached.

Similar numerals of reference designate like parts throughout all the figures of the drawings.

The improved wall lamp or fixture comprises a wall frame or bracket 1, of general rectangular shape, said wall engaging frame or main bracket being provided with integral horizontally projecting top and bottom member or brackets 1 and 1*, respectively. The upper and lower members 1 and 1 are provided with outwardly disposed open open panel frames I and 1 the. intermediate frame 1 forming the front extending parallel with the plane of the wall engaging bracket and the side panel frames 1 extending at an angle and diverging rearwardly toward the sides of the wall bracket.

he upper portion of the frame. or wall b acket s. pr ided with up rd y tapered or converging brack t secton l5, and the up er mem er i n. tably n. h e m at as int g a spy tas er. x oer beingprorvidedwith spaced lugs or prongs 1 to receive a stem 2 or other portion of the lighting fixture, said stem of the fixture being secured, in the present instance, by means of tl-lrehded nuts 2, above and below the prongs and threaded upon the threadedportion of the stem or suspended lamp part.

It will be seen also that the outer periphcry of the wall bracket 1 and the bracket section 1 is provided with a wall engaging peripheral flange l which is adapted to exclude dust and dirt. and make a tight joint with the wall when the fixture frame is attached by means of suitable attaching elements passing through the screw receiving openings 1 of the main wall frame or bracket.

The light diffusing shade or panel sections 3, of suitable glass, correspond ap proximately in form to the dimensions of the panel frames 1 and 1 said shade section 3 being mounted within the outwardly disposed open panel frames with the abut-- ting edges 3 immediately beneath the vertical members of the panel frames and the upper marginal edges 3 at the rear of the horizontal sections of the panel frames so that the abutting edges 3 of the shade sections will be covered on their outer sides by the vertical sections or members of the panel frames.

As a means of securing the shade sections or panels 3 in proper position, cross clamps 4, are removably mounted within the upper and lower portions of the wall and panel frames and extend across the upper and lower marginal edges of the shade sections 3. The clamp members 4 are preferably of the specific form indicated in Fig. 3 of the drawings so as to conform to the relative arrangement of the shade sections 3 and the open panel frames 1 and 1 The shade section securing clamps 4 are preferably of yieldable or resilient material, such as lead,

or the like, the outer ends of said clamps being provided with attaching lugs P, having recesses 4;", to removably receive and contain suitable fastening elements, such as screws 5, extending through suitable openings in the main wall bracket or frame 1 and provided with nuts 5 The lower bracket or member 1 is open as contradistinguished from the upper section 1 of canopy formation.

Having thus described one of the embodiments of my invention, without having attemped to set forth all the forms in which it may be made, or all the modes of its use, whatl claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,

l. A wall lamp, comprising a wall bracket including integral horizontal top and bottom members connected by glass receiving panel frames, glass sections within the latter, and glass securing lead clamps engaging said glass sections and adjustably connected to said horizontal top and bottom members.

2. A wall lamp, comprising a wall bracket including integral horizontally projecting top and bottom. brackets and shade receiving panel frames therebetween, shade sections within said frames and abutting against each other, and shade securing lead clamps engaging said shade sections and-adjustably connected to said wall bracket.

3. A' wall lamp, comprising a wall bracket-- provided with wall engaging peripheral flanges and having outstanding vertically extending front and side panel frames, shade panel sections mounted in abutting relation therein and having their vertical joints covered by said panel frames, and yieldable cross clamps removably mounted within said wall bracket and across the ends of said shade panel sections.

4.. wall fixture, comprising a rectangil lar shaped wall frame including outwardly disposed open panel frames and an integral. canopy section, panel shaped shade sections fitting within said open panel frames and having their marginal portions covered thereby, and yieldable means removably mounted within the upper and lower portions of said wall and panel frames and extending across the upper and lower marginal portions of said shade sections for removably securing the latter in position.

5. A wall lantern, comprising an open rectangular shaped wall frame including integral outwardly disposed vertically extending open panel frames and an integral closed canopy, said panel frames being disposed at obtuse angles to each other, shade sections of similar dimensions fitted within said open panel frames with their marginal portions and vertical joints covered thereby, and yieldable cross clamps within said wall and panel fumes and extending across the inner surfaces of said shade sections for se curing the latter in position.

6. A wall lamp fixture comprising a rectangular shaped wall frame including outwardly disposed open panel frames and an integral canopy section, said panel frames being disposed vertically and at an angle to each other, similarly shaped shade sections fitted within said open panel frames with their marginal and abutting portions covered thereby, and lead cross clamps removably mounted within the upper and lower portions of said wall and panel frames and extending across the upper and lower marginal edges of said shade sections for re movably securing the latter in position.

In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature.
